Things to remember:

  • Be sure to look for Academic Journal Articles
  • To save time:
    • Create search terms and keywords before you begin your searches by broadening and narrowing your topic.
    • Read the abstract only
    • Use the sharing options - email, bookmarking sites (delicious/diigo/etc), bookmark by saving the url of the article
    • The State Databases DO NOT require a library card from home any longer.
    • Some of the subscription sites DO require passwords and still others are NOT available from home.
    • Be sure to come to the library or send an email if you need help using the databases or with your research.
